Some rare CW projectiles

[cannonmn]

Since there's  been a lot of discussion on various kinds of projectiles to use in blackpowder cannons, maybe a review of some original designs is in order.  Some of the items shown are quite rare, such as the 2.75-inch Whitworth tin cartridge case.  The narrator isn't a projectile expert so don't believe everything he says.

what museum

Since it is stuff that isn't on public display I didn't identify it, but next time I talk to them I'll ask if they have a problem with my doing that.

A very strange thing occurred when I viewed your vid (nice show BTW); I was absolutely positive that I had never been to this museum, or its storage rooms before, but I was also as equally sure that I knew the museum's name, and was eerily aware that I was already familiar with the appearance of the storage area. The only thing I could think of that might explain this seemingly inexplicable phenomena brought to mind a quote from one of Victor's favorite celebrities, Yogi Berra: "This is like deja vu all over again."
